Abstract Elevated salinity creates degrading conditions for the development of aquatic biota in different regions world. There is a need research on freshwater salinisation order to understand how this stressor alters ecosystem function and predict changes biodiversity globally. Such data are missing from Central Europe, therefore, presented study was performed inland anthropogenic ponds with levels located second largest European hard coal basin. The researcher indicated positive...
Abstract Anthropogenic salinisation of freshwater ecosystems is frequent across the world. The scale this phenomenon remains unrecognised, and therefore, monitoring management such very important. We conducted a study on mollusc communities in inland anthropogenic ponds covering large gradient salinity located an area underground coal mining activity. A total 14 gastropod 6 bivalve species were noted. No molluscs found waters with dissolved solids (TDS) higher than 17.1 g L −1 . share alien...
The composition of the diatom assemblages was analysed in four rivers Upper Silesia, Poland 2017.The studied were found to reflect anthropogenic salinization caused by mining activities.The those characterised highest salinity (Bolina and Mleczna) showed a relatively low taxonomic richness.The dominated species typical brackish or marine waters.The with minimal weak impact (Centuria Mitręga) supported taxonomically richer mid-altitude siliceous calcareous streams (respectively), that have...
The rivers flowing through Upper Silesia and the adjacent areas (Southern Poland) are affected by various anthropogenic pressures including urbanisation, agriculture animal husbandry, as well industry (e.g., mining), which reflected in measured physical chemical water parameters. species composition of rotifers relative to a variety microhabitats was studied eight small this region 2017. Our research is comprehensive up-to-date analysis that focuses on shows diversity environmental...
Abstract To date, no studies have been conducted on macroinvertebrate communities in coal mine settling ponds used for temporary retention of saline waters. The objective the research was to evaluate which habitat – Ruppia maritima , Phragmites australis or sediments without macrophytes is most favorable abundance and biomass communities. study carried out a hyposaline pond located mining urban area southern Poland. At this time, it only inland locality R . In studied pond, non-native,...
Abstract The paper presents results of a study on the population structure orchid Liparis loeselii growing in Warta River valley peat bog Myszków (Woźnicko-Wieluńska Upland, S. Poland). Individuals L. occurred patches Menyantho trifoliatae-Sphagnetum teretis and Eleocharitetum pauciflorae – associations. demographic populations was described by variations plant height, length width leaves number flowers constituting individuals. It observed that habitat conditions such as conductivity, pH...
Abstract The paper reports on the first record of Asian aquatic oligochaete species Monopylephorus limosus (Hatai, 1898) in Central Europe. was found lower course Bolina River (S Poland), which is contaminated with saline mine waters. One immature individual collected late summer 2017. M. co-occurred Paranais litoralis , Nais elinguis and juvenile Enchytraeidae. To date, one 29 non-native annelids that are known to occur Poland.
Secondary salinisation has become one of the most important factors responsible for changes in aquatic biota. Earlier research focused on macroinvertebrates including oligochaetes anthropogenically saline rivers and streams, but studies stagnant waters remain scarce. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess species composition as well abundance biomass oligochaete communities along a large salinity gradient anthropogenic inland water bodies located Upper Silesian Coal Basin (Southern...
Abstract Sigara assimilis (Fieber, 1848) is an aquatic true bug from the family Corixidae. Our paper first report on this species Poland. Numerous males and females of were found in a hypohaline coal mine settling pond southern
The research conducted in settling ponds located the coal basin Upper Silesia (southern Poland), detected one of them presence widgeon grass Ruppia maritima. Currently, it is only inland site this species Poland. creates underwater meadows shore zone pond and grows dense communities together with common reed Phragmites australis coastal zone. Apart from these two plants, no other were found. morphological features vegetative generative organs studied population R. maritima similar to those...
